Cloning and fetching over HTTP now works:
git clone http://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
Note that because this requires a cronjob (git-update-server-info) that I have set running every 10 minutes, cloning or fetching over HTTP can result in a repo that's slightly out of date with respect to the public repo. As a general note, unless you absolutely have to use HTTP because of restrictive firewall rules, using the Git protocol is more efficient.
That's great! Thank you very much for the lightning quick setup! I tested it now and it's working. :) I see that you have also already updated the wiki page accordingly: Version Control for Koha using Git [Koha Developer Wiki] http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage ------------------------------ Cloning over HTTP To clone the repo using the Git protocol (git:), you need to be able to connect to port 9418 on git.koha.org. If for some reason you have a restrictive firewall that cannot be changed, and using SSH port forwarding is not an option, it is possible to clone the repo using HTTP: git clone http://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone Other git operations such as git fetch and git rebase will work normally over you clone using HTTP. Note that because this requires a cronjob (git-update-server-info) that is set to run every 10 minutes, cloning or fetching over HTTP can result in a repo that's slightly out of date with respect to the public repo. As a general note, unless you absolutely have to use HTTP because of restrictive firewall rules, using the Git protocol is more efficient, both for you and the server that hosts the repository. ----------------------------- Thank you also for updating the documentation about git in the Koha Developer wiki! :) Cheers, Ricardo
